Thetis Upgrades; Database Reset; Reflashing Firmware - Apache Labs ANDROMEDA ANAN-7000DLE MKII User Manual

10.5 Thetis Upgrades
Installing updates is simply the same process as a clean install. However at the end of the process,
THETIS will not need to re‐run the FFT tests. You will get a message saying that the database will be
updated to a new version; let this run to completion, then re‐run THETIS.
10.6 Database Reset
Occasionally it is recommended to carry out a database reset. This resets all settings to initial, "safe"
values. There are two occasions when this could be needed: after a major update, which has
changed too many settings to be individually described; and if you have edited settings in a way that
turned out to be inappropriate, and you cannot recover.
To prepare for this consider the following actions to preserve changes that you want to reinstate:

Make screenshots of important or complex settings, for instance amplifier calibration values.

Use Menu > Setup > Transmit > Export Current Profile to export important and/or complex
transmit profiles.

Use Menu > Setup > CAT > Configure MIDI > Manage Mappings > Export Mappings to export
MIDI settings.
You can now carry out the database reset. Open the Menu > Setup form and click the Database
Reset button at bottom left. It will issue a warning; click Yes to proceed.
To restore any saved settings:

For each transmit profile exported it can be imported using Menu > Setup Import Database.
It will require a separate import cycle for each profile.

MIDI settings can be imported using the "Import Mappings" function that was adjacent to
the "Export Mappings" function referred to above.
A copy of an initialised database will be provided in "my documents". This can be imported in the
setup form to reset settings to those appropriate to ANDROMEDA. This includes factor adjusted PA
gain.
10.7 Reflashing firmware
The FPGA bootloader code resides in protected portion of lower segments of flash memory. The
FPGA firmware fits in the address range above the bootloader code. Depending on the position of
the bootloader switch, either the bootloader code or the radio firmware is transferred to the FPGA
for execution.
ANDROMEDA uses the same firmware files as the ANAN‐7000DLE and ANAN‐8000DLE radios. For
operation with THETIS, Protocol 2 firmware is essential.
